About

Note: Reading rooms can only be selected on your display when the display function is set to DICOM. Please refer to “Display function”

The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) composed a list of pre-defined reading rooms. Each of these reading rooms are defined by following parameters:

• the maximum light allowed in this type of room
• the preset ambient light correction value for this reading room

These parameters are stored in your display and determine the preset ambient light correction value to take into account to recalculate the DICOM display function when Ambient Light Compensation (ALC) is enabled. See “Ambient light compensation (ALC)”.

The available reading rooms for your Nio Color 8MP are:

• CR/DR/ MAMMO: Corresponds to light conditions in diagnostic reading rooms for computed radiology, digital radiology or mammography. This setting has the lowest maximum ambient light.
• CT/MR/NM: Corresponds to light conditions in diagnostic reading rooms for computed tomography, magnetic resonance or nuclear medicine scans.
• Staff Office: Corresponds to light conditions in office rooms.
• Clinical Viewing Room: Corresponds to light conditions in diagnostic reading rooms for clinical viewing.
• Emergency Room: Corresponds to light conditions in emergency rooms.
• Operating Room: Corresponds to light conditions in operating rooms. This setting has the highest maximum ambient light.
